Ukraine launches large-scale drone attacks on Russian military targets

Ukraine launched a coordinated drone attack on four Russian airfields deep inside Russia, targeting strategic bombers and causing significant damage, in what is considered one of their most daring operations. The attack, planned over a year and personally supervised by President Zelenskyy, involved dozens of small armed drones and aimed to weaken Russia's military capabilities and geopolitical confidence amid ongoing conflict and peace negotiations. Russia responded with its largest drone and missile strikes on Ukraine since 2022, escalating the ongoing war.
